The Bunker – News without the nonsense

Has US media surrendered to Trump already?


Listen Later

Trump’s first term might have been a political nightmare, but at least it was a golden age for truth-telling journalism. But this time, news outlets from the Washington Post to CNN have bent the knee to MAGA with indecent, craven haste – while papers like the New York Times have retreated, terrified, into euphemism. What do the news oligarchs think they’ll get from Trump? And will there be anything left of a free media when he is done with them? “Our incumbent media are failing us terribly,” US media analyst Jeff Jarvis tells Gavin Esler, “and we are in the middle of a coup… It’s business interests über alles.”
